@OldSchoolUK 1960s were plagued by unofficial tube strikes. I guess this photo may have captured the fall out.

The car reg numbers look odd. Registration ending 836PE predates the 1960s registration format. Invalid carriage registration WYX482 is another Mysteron requiring investigation.

@Goldietheswag3 @NoContextBrits Thought Bazalgette built the London sewer in 1859. Must be my glaucoma. The 8 in 1859 must be a 3.
Black Death 1348 advanced public health so they must have started building the London sewer in 1359. Silly me.
Less people more food/body & higher wages 👍
It's logical Jim 🖖

A photograph of King Charles I's statue in front of Whitehall snapped by French photographer Monsieur de St Croixin in 1839, believed to be the oldest photograph of London.

@CitizenUddin Since there is no give way or stop marking on the road junction into guess it's a one way street.

@OldSchoolUK 1969 - 1st Moon landing - 1st Concorde flight
Richard Nixon - Last Beatles concert in UK
Calculators didn't arrive in UK until 1970 cost £79
Covent Garden looks much the same. The sign for St Pauls Church has gone but the Church is open.

@SamaHoole There you have the way to bump defence spending up to 5% of GDP overnight. The costs of school dinners, NHS and council housing should be classified as defence spending since all are required to produce bodies fit to go to war.

@PersonalThai Lantern festival Loy Khomot is 700-1000 years old but the large scale Chang Mai festival started in the 1960s-70s.
Locals stay home to put out fires if lanterns land on their homes. There have been serious consequences.

@brandnewnox Stormy weather, steamy windows up near Ladphrao General Hospital south of Bang Kapi.
Despite the strong wind and heavy rain encouraging to see that there is no flooding. Hope Bang Kapi is ok. Is The Mall at Bang Kapi open? A good place for lunch and decent coffee.

The difference between politicians handing out food and politicians handing out cash.
An alternative, payments into bank accounts of flooded residents, does not have that lovely personal touch, and takes time hungry people don't really have.
Would soup kitchen be better?

@The_East_End Someone is going to complain that those windmills were turned off half the time.

1978 winter of discontent.
Gravediggers were on strike, rubbish piled up in the streets, and hospital entrances were blockade.

@bangkoklad Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul went to flooded Bang Kapi and got an earful. Well done those residents who said their piece.
These floods were predicted.

New pumps and clearing khlongs will help
but the choice seems to be either
1 additional sewers or
2 a city on stilts.

Staple Inn was established in the 14th century when it was known as le Stapledhalle, where merchants weighed and traded wool. In the 15th century the buildings became part of an Inn of Chancery for the legal profession. The part on what is now High holborn dates from 1585.
